Newcastle United face a stern test this summer as they seek to improve their ranks for what will hopefully be another campaign in the Premier League.
Rafael Benitez has plenty of incoming business to focus on but there could also be a number of outgoing deals, with one player admitting he will assess his future at the end of the season.
Academy graduate Adam Armstrong has spent time on four different loan spells during the past four years, including a disappointing time with Bolton Wanderers at the beginning of this season before finding form with Blackburn Rovers in League One.
Now, speaking to Sky Sports, Armstrong has admitted he will assess his future at the end of the season and could leave Tyneside on a permanent basis.
“Obviously they’re concentrating on the Premier League which is a massive thing so hopefully they can stay up. I keep in contact with the Under-23s coach now and then but I’m focused more on getting my head down and doing well for Blackburn.”
“It’s been hard to get to a game this season but I’ve got a lot of good friends there and I always check the results because I’m still a massive fan. The plan is to go back in the summer and assess the situation because I’ve still got two years left on my contract.”
The 21-year-old made his debut for Newcastle in 2014, earning 17 league appearances since but failing to find the net.
